Dev Update! 7/15/24

Hey, friends! Hope you're all well this week!

First, I'm doing to re-post something I'd posted to my most recent Sneak Peek feature. So, $5+ subs can skip the next couple paragraphs. :'D

I got a lot of very kind (and slightly concerned..) messages after my last (apparently cranky) Dev Update, which felt the need to reassure me that I was doing well at this whole thing, and that I shouldn't let the words of naysayers get to me. I really, really appreciate all that! But, I wasn't trying to be a downer! :'D I was trying to turn a negative into a positive, and really talk about the whole dev process, in a way I don't ordinarily. But, sometimes my natural tendency to sound like Droopy Dog comes out, and the whole thing apparently reeked of a dev on the verge of laying down and dying.

Let me assure you, that's note the case! Still, I appreciate the outpouring of support! I even heard from some fans who were commenting for the first time, which is always cool.

Alright, back into the fun stuff! I'm brushing up against the 300 render mark this week, which is always a nice milestone. I think the total is like.. 294? So, not 300, but close enough for government work, as the saying goes! I wish I was a little further along, but it's still going pretty well. I'm hoping I can get through Viola's scene this month, which really only leave Gabby's scene for August.

Speaking of Gabby, I did a little just-for-fun render of her, which you may've seen if you're active over on the Discord.

And while I'm posting Discord stuff.. Over there, I recently talked a bit about a comic I'm writing. I won't get into the details, but it'd be kind of a romantic/sexy/mildly smutty little book, which would alternate between a more realistic style I'd use for the sexy bits, and a cartoony style I'd use for the day-to-day. This isn't something I'll have time to work on for quite a while, but it's been fun to kick around. Plus, a lot of people don't know I was a traditional/2D artist, before I chained myself to Daz Studio, and I do like to show off when I can.

That's really all I've got for you folks, today! I'm going to keep my nose to the grindstone for a bit, trying to push through these next couple scenes. Once those are done, I'll be feeling a lot better about making that August release.

Until next time, take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!
